For the classical experts on head-fi I have a question. From a recommendation here on head-fi, I picked up Bartok's String Quartets played by the Emerson String Quartet a little over a year ago.
Upon first hearing the work, I absolutely hated it, and struggled to get all the way through it. I've since listened to it (sometimes partially but mostly in its entirety) several times since.
Well, this evening I listened again to the first quartet and I'm not sure if it was the particular day, the stars in alignment, or perhaps my musical tastes are maturing but I actually enjoyed it.
So has anyone else experienced this with Bartok's Quartets, or is it just me? Any other similar experiences?
I wonder if given more time, I'll come to enjoy them even more.
